Im happy for a classic solo episode, that is almost an hour, it has been a blast. Ive enjoyed Pandyland, I got some pretty hilarious combinations. 5 nights at Freddy's is pretty sweet and scary, altough I do agree it relies heavily on jump scares. I don't even wanna mention Amnesia the dark (dork?) descent, but I find that game can be continually scary by creating a really creepy atmoshpere and not reliying on jump scares or gore. Ive still got PTSD from Iron Roses, Kaiser can go fuck himself :). "Beer and Pretzels" means that it more simplier I think, more casual. On the topic of Final Fantasy 3: I recently played through Final Fantasy 5. I had the same problem you had a couple of times. I could pass the enemies with a little research and some grinding. When I came to the last boss I hit a wall. I could beat his second form with no problem, but that is when I realized that I just didnt have enough items, HP and Mana. I recommend that you check online for a strategy and definetly do some grinding. I found an area in FF5 where I used tape and stuck down the A and Up button then sped up the emulator and grinded from level 60 to 99, I was THAT pissed at that last boss. Not only did I beat the boss, I also beat the much tougher "optional superbosses" (seriously that should be the name for a insane burger somewhere) "Omega" and "Shinryu". Strategy does matter, but in Final Fantasy grinding will solve your problems (like most but not all virtual rpg's) most of the time. I still need to read that article, might help me get better at the game. Im really happy you got a Steam article that is that popular. Im exited for your symposium (sounds like a cool title "My symposium for TTT"). I know we talked about this, but how hard would it be to make something like the Beastbar? I might try it myself, since I have been on a game design kick again, and maybe trying something 3D out would be fun. Garrys mod might be right place to start, what do you think? I remember you mentioned the Myst boardgame, I would love to see you talk about it one day. Glad I could help man, and Im happy to see the podcast return again in its full glory.
